Episode 169 - Alternun - Creating Wealth & Regenerating the Environment with Onchain Digital Gold Mining
Manage episode 437975764 series 3407795
In episode 169, we’re excited to welcome Jose Santiago Gomez Piedrahita, CEO of Alternun, a ReFi project that’s revolutionizing the gold industry through “Digital Gold Mining”. We dive into the challenges of traditional gold mining, explore how Alternun is leveraging blockchain to decentralize and democratize investment opportunities in gold, and discuss how they’re using liquidity pools and tokenization to fund local environmental initiatives.
--Three Key Takeaways--
- Gold mining has significant environmental impacts, including the destruction of habitats and the release of significant carbon emissions, yet 93% of extracted gold is stored in vaults rather than utilized. This raises the question: why continue mining this precious resource and destroying environments only to sequester it away? This is the problem underlying Alternun’s Digital Mining approach.
- Blockchain is essential in building a Digital Mining platform because it brings greater transparency, ensuring there is no double counting of tokens, while also democratizing access to gold investment opportunities through tokenization.
- Alternun decided to build on the Stellar Blockchain due to the low costs, fast transaction times, on-ramps and off-ramps, and the ability to charge small fees on transactions as a revenue generation tool. They also have a good grants program which has been helpful to Alternun’s startup.
